Blue Northern Energy Acquires Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology
Blue Northern Energy is revitalizing the biodiesel industry. BNE's objective is to develop a sustainable and lucrative biofuel production market throughout the United States. BNE integrates the most recent innovation advances, refining processes and innovative minds to establish sustainable and profitable biodiesel production centers. BNE offers assistance and options to services and neighborhoods in their ventures to develop brand-new biodiesel production centers or retrofitting existing facilities to make them sustainable and rewarding. Through its work and knowledge BNE, differentiates itself as the leader in the renewable resource field.
Blue Northern Energy (BNE) has gotten an unique technology for producing biodiesel fuel. The Quicksilver Biodiesel Technology (QSB) is a constant biodiesel production process by the trans-esterification of vegetable oils. Multiple feedstocks might be utilized, enabling the most affordable expense feedstocks to be utilized. The capability to modify the process continually, as the feedstocks alter by modulating the other reactants to the procedure instead of altering batch dishes, makes it an extremely flexible and more efficient procedure. The procedure likewise allows a decrease in capital cost of up to 40% and a decrease in operating cost through lower energy expense of as much as 30%. These benefits of the innovation have actually been validated through a 3rd celebration assessment completed by the Center for Process Innovation.
The QSB innovation has actually been thoroughly checked at the pilot plant in Budapest, Hungary. Feedstocks from Europe in addition to the USA have actually been demonstrated, both individually in addition to blends.
Developing and enhancing the technology is a high concern for BNE, and fundamental to our worldwide expansion plans. In order to support this, BNE will be developing a brand-new Innovation Center located next to the first biodiesel plant in Newton, Illinois. The center will have the capability to demonstrate future feedstock processing and carry out comprehensive fuel quality measurements for BNE plants and speculative samples.
It is the administrator of the BN National Trail from concept, advancement, building to management. This center exhibits the innovative technology of BNE and production process that made use of several crops, edible and non-edible, for sustainable, high quality and profitable biodiesel production.
BNE's staff will increase to support this innovation program. A senior chemical procedure expert will be employed to carry out mass and energy balance calculations and develop the chemical process for advanced feedstocks.
